WetlandHunter 425 Remote Trainer is designed for waterfowl hunters with close-working dogs in wet terrain. It utilizes the most advanced technology that SportDog has ever built into an e-collar. Switch instantly between stimulation, vibration, and tone to fit the correction or communication that matches your dog's temperament and learning ability. This model is smartly offered in a camo finish, so it blends in with the rest of your gear. You can stay hidden. You can get wet (submersible to 25 ft). You can work your dog. You can bag birds. This system lets you do it all. This model is an upgraded replacement for the WetlandHunter 400. Collar adjusts from 6"-28". For dogs 8 lbs and over.

For each additional dog you wish to add, purchase an (86856) Add-A-Dog SD-425. This collar, made to work with the system above is made of DRYTEK® waterproof material, is submersible to 25 feet, provides a 2 hour quick charge, and has 50-70 hours of battery life.

How the System Works
The SportDog WetlandHunter 425 has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all dogs over 8 pounds. Consistent, correct use of this product allows you to reinforce commands and correct misbehavior from up to 500 yards. The Remote Transmitter sends a signal, activating the Collar Receiver to deliver a harmless stimulation. With proper training, a dog will learn to associate this signal with a command. Like all SportDog products, this model features adjustable stimulation levels so you can tailor the stimulation level to your dog's temperament, eliminating the risk of over-correction.

Key Definitions
REMOTE TRANSMITTER: Transmits the radio signal to the Collar Receiver. It is waterproof and can be submerged in water to a depth of 25 feet.
INTENSITY DIAL: Provides multiple levels of stimulation so you can match the correction to your dog's temperament.
TRANSMITTER INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates that a button is pressed and also serves as a low-battery indicator.
UPPER BUTTON: This button is factory-set to deliver continuous stimulation.
LOWER BUTTON: This button is factory-set to deliver momentary stimulation, or a "Nick".
SIDE BUTTON: This button is factory-set to deliver a tone without stimulation.
CHARGING JACK: For connecting the charger. Although the Remote Transmitter is waterproof without it, keep the cover in place when not charging to keep debris out of the opening.
MODE BUTTON: This button gives you the ability to change the mode of your Remote Transmitter.
COLLAR RECEIVER: Receives the radio signal from the Remote Transmitter and delivers the stimulation, vibration, or a tone for correcting or cueing your dog. It is waterproof and can be submerged in water to a depth of 25 feet.
RECEIVER INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates when the Collar Receiver has been turned on or off, serves as a low-battery indicator, and also indicates when a continuous or momentary (Nick) stimulation button is pressed.
CONTACT POINTS: The contacts through which the Collar Receiver delivers stimulation.
ON/OFF BUTTON: Momentarily pressing and releasing this button turns the Collar Receiver on and off.

The Collar Receiver Is Capable Of Delivering Four Types Of Stimulation:
CONTINUOUS: You control both when and how long stimulation is delivered, up to a maximum of 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the stimulation will "time out" and the Transmitter button needs to be released and then pressed again before additional stimulation can be delivered.
MOMENTARY (NICK): Stimulation is delivered for 1/10 of a second, regardless of how long the button is pressed.
TONE: The Collar Receiver will make a rapid beeping noise when a Tone button is pressed.
VIBRATION: The Collar Receiver will vibrate when a Vibration button is pressed, up to a maximum of 10 seconds.

Find the Best Intensity Level for Your Dog
The WetlandHunter 425 has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the stimulation that is best for your dog. NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up. For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity or flicks his ears.

Finding Your Dog's Recognition Level:
NOTE: Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog's Recognition Level will be. Watch closely for any slight change in behavior that demonstrates your dog is feeling the stimulation.

With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter's
Intensity Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.

If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.

YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS
HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS
LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.

Once you find your dog's Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.

If you have progressed to Level 7 while searching for your dog's Recognition Level and your dog continues to show no response, check to see if the Collar Receiver is snug against your dog's neck.
Then go back to Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, you have three options: trim the hair beneath the Contact Points, switch to the longer Contact Points included in your system, or change the stimulation range. If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, please contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.

General Training Tips
You will have the most success using this remote trainer if you always remember to teach a command before trying to reinforce the command with a remote trainer. We recommend that you read the enclosed Training Guide and watch the enclosed DVD before training with this remote trainer. Your training will be easier and proceed faster if you follow the guidelines in these teaching assistants. In addition, always keep the following training tips in mind:

Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with the training, your dog may become confused.

Be consistent. Give your dog a tone, vibration, or stimulation with each misbehavior.

Do not overcorrect your dog. Use as few stimulations as possible to train your dog.

Restrict your dog from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving unless you can supervise him and use the WetlandHunter 425 for applying tone, vibration, or stimulation.

If you notice one situation in which your dog misbehaves repeatedly, set up this situation as a training session. This will dramatically increase your chances of success.

If your dog has a timid reaction to the tone, vibration, or stimulation (especially the first couple of times), do not be alarmed. Redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior (i.e. a known command, such as "Sit").

Never use the WetlandHunter 425 to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. If your dog exhibits such behavior, contact a professional trainer. Aggression in dogs is the result of many factors - it may be a learned behavior or it may be brought on as a result of fear. Another factor contributing to aggression in dogs is social dominance. Every dog is different. At this point, your remote trainer is ready to use. The transmitter is factory set to mode 1, but you may wish to change the mode to fit your situation. See STEP 5 in your training manual for an explanation of mode options.

Remote collars are one of the most effective training tools for professional trainers and individual pet owners alike. They offer many benefits when you can't always be near your pet to correct bad behavior at a distance.
